About Us

About Us

All In is a one-stop platform for caregivers of persons with special needs.

This is a platform for you, the caregiver. Here, we have resources for you to:
– assess your child’s developmental progress
– find the help, services and products that your loved one with special needs require
– feel supported in this extra special journey of parenthood.

What you see on the website now is the start. We will continue to pull in valuable resources from all around, and build tools to help make your journey a more supported one. And we are able to do all this thanks to the support of SG Enable, Tote Board and the Nehemiah Foundation.

So do tell us what would make the biggest difference for you – the caregiver. Leave us a note here!

If you are a parent advocate, vendor or corporate with a heart for the special needs community, we would love to find ways to work with you too!

Let us know here how your special power benefits (or could benefit) the special needs community and we can discuss how best to amplify your work.

All In is about building an all-inclusive community. And it’s about getting more people in society-at-large to understand special needs better, and say they are “all in” as well in this effort.

Our Team
